    Also, to the gym membership & then also the “renting” with roommates. Over the years, I’ve known a lot of people that paid for the expensive gym membership so they could use the showers & bathrooms in the luxury gyms since it was an upgraded experience compared to their own apartment situation
  • @GabrielDeSanti
    It is crazy how fast everything adds up. I’m always blown away
  • @Tofushoots
    It's expensive to live almost anywhere these days. It's getting crazy. So may as well live where you want and just adjust life best you can.

    Watching content creators living in NYC in different financial phases with different yet similar lifestyles is so interesting 😊 these types of videos are quite interesting to watch 😀😀
  • @HussainAl--Khalil
    Great video. I know it may seem like a lot but when you factor in how much you're potentially making you're doing fine and within your means. Would be interesting if we saw a video that showcased what you make in a month. Maybe not exact numbers for privacy reasons but showing what a scheduled month of work looks like. Think it cold be great from your fans who are also up and comers to see. Appreciate the content.

    This was interesting. I’ve been tabulating my costs for the last 2 years. Went to NYC a few times but Nov 2021 was the only entire uninterrupted month of being there and I spent $3375 - all in, stayed at a room in an Airbnb. Probably not doable anymore in 2023!

    I get paid like 4000 a month... what the actual fuck?! 1500 a month for rent for a 5 bedroom house, 2 bathrooms full basement, full yard. New York sounds horrible considering the prices! That's fuuuck. I get paid 4000 a month and still have enough money to put away 1000$ every 2 weeks in savings
  • @jackattack3408
    Thanks for keeping it real in this video. I’ve been a student in nyc for 5 years just graduated and am planning on living on a much lower monthly budget. He is right. It is possible. And he is right, his total is much more realistic. Guys nyc is crazy expensive until you move here I don’t wanna be hearing nothing about the prices he is mentioning. It is just plain expensive. The trade off is your personal life is likely to be amazing in nyc, the best people in the world are here. Peace and love always.

    Hey Brett .am a big fan from cameroon . You inspire me everyday man
  • @gildisc9759
    New Yorker here.. born n raised in North Jersey but live in midtown. This is very realistic. One of the things I tell everyone is that even making 100k (6 figures) isn't enough to comfortably live in New York. Brett just popped out a modest 5700 per month and 100k after taxes in New York City comes out to about 5500/month. I know people who easily spend 8-15k per month in New York.
  • Brett- I beg to differ. Nyc native, 53+ yrs. My rent for my real 1 bedroom in a very desirable part of Manhattan in an amenities bldg is ½ your rent. Remember the avg ny’er doesn’t have 2 terraces on a high floor, high rise bldg.
  • Love your videos... I enjoy your travel videos and r100 challenge ❤❤❤keep it going and 🎉pls show more of NYC restaurants and night life pls
  • Man opened with ' i spend $275 on gym when it could cost $15' and i instantly dipped lmaooooo
  • @jmartlncln
    Definitely e-bike was my best investment! I lived in another major world city for almost a decade before NY and the subway was way cheaper, nicer and more frequent, so $2.90 seems crazy to me if you're not commuting too far. You can pay off the bike/scooter in less than 2-years if you commute regularly.. and feel way better everyday. Just ride careful!

  • hi Brett! loved the video. i was wondering, especially since you said you are a finance major - at the end of the video you talk how spending almost 6k/month in manhattan is not bad for an adult in their late 20s - how much money could an adult working a high paying job be saving every month..?
